The company has temporarily stopped operations at some of its solar glass production facilities, to manage inventory levels more effectively amid the demand-supply
In recent years, China''s rapid expansion of solar energy has driven huge growth in the solar glass sector, resulting in higher capacity. But oversupply emerged last year, leading
Modules have re-entered the inventory buildup cycle, with 182&183 modules experiencing inventory buildup. However, demand for 210N modules has recently improved,
The volatile nature of the solar industry makes Solar Inventory management a challenging task. Excess solar inventory can very quickly be made obsolete by new technology.

Excess solar inventory can very quickly be made obsolete by new technology. Solar inventory can also get devalued because of frequent price drops. Sales cycles are not very predictable because demand is closely linked to consumers’ energy bills, price volatility and incentives provided by governments.
Solar inventory can also get devalued because of frequent price drops. Sales cycles are not very predictable because demand is closely linked to consumers’ energy bills, price volatility and incentives provided by governments. Solar Inventory management needs to help improve demand planning and liquidity/cash flow.
The increase in demand drives the increase in glass demand, and inventory gradually declines, expected to drop from about 4 weeks at the end of February to around 20 days by the end of March. Material Prices Decline, Inventory Reduction Expected to Increase Price .
